"My husband told me that my mother said my father had passed away," she says. "He said that my family did not want to know about me because I had a black child, and they had disowned me. He said he didn't tell me before because I was pregnant and he didn't want to upset me." Mary would believe that story for the next five years.
And the abuse escalated. One night when the baby was just two months old, Mary bundled up her infant and parked herself on a bus bench in front of an all-night grocery store. "They had a security guard," she says, "and he could not hit me in a public place."
On occasion, a friend or neighbor would phone police to report the assaults. Sometimes Mary was able to get away and call police herself. But "two hours later," she says, "he would be in the house. What good did it do me? Then I was more hurt than I had been in the beginning."
When her husband did end up in jail, she says, she paid for that, too. "He would say, 'When I get out of jail, I'm going to kill you. I'll have you deported!'"
Staffers at the Denver City Attorney's office offered Mary counseling, but she didn't take them up on it. She wasn't yet ready to leave her husband. "When you're in love and having kids and he says that he is sorry and he promises you that everything will be fine, you try to keep the family together," she explains.
But Mary reached her breaking point in 1991, when she was pregnant with the couple's second child. She got a restraining order against her husband and fled to a shelter for battered women. She was living at the shelter when she went into labor three months ahead of schedule. The infant lived just three hours; Mary believes that her husband's abuse--he allegedly pushed her down the stairs while she was pregnant--contributed to the baby's death.
"I was sad," Mary says. "I needed someone with me. My baby passed away, and I believed I had no family." So she went back to her husband. And the abuse continued.
Mary says she left a second time after her husband accidentally started a fire in their apartment. He'd been doing drugs and had fallen asleep with a cigarette still burning. That time, she says, she was determined to stay away. She sold her television and stereo to get the money for an attorney, hoping a lawyer could help her get her green card. It was only then, Mary says, that she discovered the truth. "[The attorney] said my husband never filed my papers," she recalls. "He said, 'You are illegal.'"
"So what can I do?" she asks rhetorically. "I couldn't go home. I didn't have friends. He didn't let me have friends."
Mary chose what she thought was her only option: She went into hiding, from the INS as well as from her husband. She supported herself and her daughter on her meager income for the next two years--right up until the day her husband caught up with her.
In getting out when she did, Mary had already beaten the odds.
"Some women leave after the first incident of abuse," says Linda Gordon, an attorney with Project Safeguard, an advocacy and emergency resource program for battered women. "But generally, it takes time and a number of incidents before they ask for help."
Many women, no matter where they were born, have trouble admitting they've been abused. They find the legal process degrading and worry about what others will think of them. But the problem is often magnified when dealing with people from other cultures, says Cheryl Martinez.
"Picking up a phone and calling police is a significant act for the population in general," she says. "And the fact that they're undocumented and there are cultural and linguistic barriers...they might not even recognize where to go for help or treatment. It's almost beyond comprehension."
And the frightening experiences of some women who have spoken up have given others further reason to stay quiet. The case of Susana Remerata Blackwell is perhaps the most infamous example.
Susana Remerata, a native of the Philippines, was 22 when her photograph appeared in an issue of Asian Encounters magazine. Theoretically a vehicle through which Filipinas could strike up pen-pal relationships with American men, the publication actually was a mail-order matchmaking club that hooked up marriage-minded men with like-minded women.
Taken with Susana's beauty, 44-year-old lab technician Timothy Blackwell began a year-long postal courtship of her. He flew to the Philippines in 1993, where the couple met and married. He returned to Washington state a few weeks later. The INS spent almost a year checking on Susana before allowing her to enter the United States to join her husband.
Susana Blackwell arrived in the United States on February 5, 1994. She left Timothy Blackwell less than two weeks later, claiming that he'd pulled her hair and tried to choke her. When he realized that Susana wasn't coming back, Timothy Blackwell filed for an annulment of the marriage and suggested to INS officials that Susana may have violated the law by fraudulently inducing him to marry her.

Update: The title update is now also available on Xbox 360. Check out the full patch notes here.
Original story: Rockstar has released a PS3 GTA 5 patch designed to fix a number of known issues with GTA Online, the game's recently launched multiplayer component.
Earlier this week, Rockstar squashed a PSN server issue that was unintentionally limiting the number of players who could access the game outright, but multiple issues remained. CVG reports that today's GTA Online patch, which takes the game to version 1.02, weighs in at 39MB on the PSN. According to the site, online games are now more stable on PS3, though the wait in lobbies can last as long as ten minutes.
Rockstar says that an Xbox 360 title update will also be made available "as soon as possible today". Prior to launch, Rockstar warned GTA Online players to expect a bumpy first few weeks.

Music related news and gossip
Taylor Swift's new boyfriend?
FameFlynet, Jesal / Ben/ Splash
Just before the American Music Awards last weekend, Taylor Swift was photographed wearing a The 1975 t-shirt. She and Selena Gomez and some other friends went to see the band's show at the Palladium. That wasn't a secret. She posted about it on Instagram. Here's the photo: The 1975 at The Palladium. @selenagomez @elliegoulding Full Story
Madonna's Rebel Heart
Jamie McCarthy/ Mike Coppola/ Getty Images
Parts of Rebel Heart, a new song from Madonna, leaked last night. Alan just sent me a link to it. Click here to listen. People are complaining about the vocals. They're rough right now but this is probably a rough cut. To me this is not what's offensive. Full Story
New music from Idris
Karwai Tang/ Fred Duval/ Getty Images
Lorella texted me this morning and asked me if I'd heard Idris Elba's new song. I told her I hadn't and that I didn't want to. Because…well… You've seen his Private Garden before, right? Look. I'd love a situation in which my private garden and Idris Elba are having a conversation but this…was not what I had in mind a few years ago when I first wrote about it: But then Lorella clarified that she'd heard the new song on the radio in London and it was good. Full Story
Do we need to talk about Nick Jonas?
Noam Galai/ Theo Wargo/ Laura Cavanaugh/ Getty Images
People have been talking about Nick Jonas since the end of the summer. I've not posted once about him. Part of it is because I didn't quite believe it would stick. But Nick Jonas seems to be sticking. Is it the song? Is it Jealous? I mean, it's a good song. It's not a song I blast on repeat but it's not JLO's Booty either. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
This fall I read Sheila Weller's new book The News Sorority about Christiane Amanpour, Diane Sawyer, and Katie Couric. SO good. Empowering and dishy at the same time – like good gossip? A debate for another day. The News Sorority is Weller's follow-up to Girls Like Us, a triple bio of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Carly Simon. I was OBSESSED with it. Click here for my review.
Girls Like Us was supposed to be turned into a movie. Two years ago, it was reported that Taylor Swift was in talks to play Joni Mitchell. Click here Read Full Intro
Gaga comes home
Jeffery Duran/ Splash
Lady Gaga has been touring all over the world, dressed in a variety of crazy ass outfits for attention because, well, the Gaga hype isn't what it was, is it? After a while, none of it is all that remarkable anymore. The more outlandish the costume, the less I care. So here she is, home in New York today and NOT wearing something stupid. Full Story
Rihanna, Brad Pitt, JayZ, and Grandpa
247PapsTV/ Splash
Rihanna was in New York yesterday for a meeting with JayZ. She had her grandfather with her. There have been reports for a while now that she's been readying a new album. Some rumours had it dropping before Christmas. So far it's all just speculation but even she has said that it'll be "soon" and giving hints on social media about #R8. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I love a lot of things about Duana. But one of my favourite things, especially during award season, is that she still calls her Giuliana DePandi. I'm like a kid when she does it, begging her, "Do it again! Do it again!" It's the best.
So. The American Music Awards. I watched them for Taylor Swift. Then I had to endure Ariana Grande TWO TIMES – and her jack rabbit of a brother – to get to JLO's ass. That's three hours that should have been Diana Ross, Beyonce, Taylor, Sam Smith, Skylar Grey, and Wyclef, that's it. Doesn't that cover all the food groups? Instead I had to have nightmares about the Magic guy and his gross hips
We'll get to the AMAs – as much as I can stand to cover – but first…we have some other business to address from the weekend. Read Full Intro
A great ass doesn't make a song
Jeffrey Mayer/ Christopher Polk/ Michael Tran/ Kevin Mazur/ AMA2014/ Getty Images
Jennifer Lopez got all wet-haired and grindy for the final performance of the night with Iggy Azalea at the American Music Awards which came with an advance warning that it was going to be all kinds of raunch. Hardly. Instead, it was a lot of dancing. And a costume change. And yes, JLO looked amazing and she moved energetically but… That wasn't a song. Full Story
Annoying has a brother
Lester Cohen/ Kevin Mazur/ Jeff Kravitz/ AMA2014/ Getty Images
Can you really be called a great vocalist when it's just sounds coming out of your mouth with no words? I don't understand a word of what Ariana Grande is singing because she's too busy doing sh-t with the notes. She also has, like, zero stage presence. That could be an 8 year old at a recital for all I know. Full Story
An angel and the shower
Jason Merritt/ Kevin Mazur /AMA2014 / Lester Cohen/ Michael Tran/ Getty Images
On the subject of perspective… I've written about it so many times, what heartbreak is like at that age – so singular and isolating, so…narcissistic. You don't think anyone has ever hurt the way you hurt. You think you INVENTED hurt. Despite what she posted on Instagram from backstage at rehearsal, about wanting people to relate, really, this kind of pain is an emotional cave that was created for only one inhabitant at a time. Full Story
Fergie & Iggy at the AMAs
Jeff Kravitz / Kevin Winter/ Christopher Polk/ AMA2014/ Getty Images
Perspective. Makes you look like an asshole. And it took Iggy Azalea to make me realise how much I like Fergie. As I've said before re: Iggy Azalea, I am not a believer. I refuse to buy into her star. Madonna was the one who taught us how to pat our pussies, OK? Fergie though… I loved everything about Fergie last night – the wrap shirt over the bodysuit, the gold boots, she was on point with the performance, she sounded great, her legs are sick, and she's as pretty as she's ever been. Full Story
80s steeze and a new friend collected
Lester Cohen/ Kevin Mazur/ Michael Tran/ Jason LaVeris/ Jeff Kravitz/ AMA2014/ Getty Images
Last night was all about Sam Smith's coat. That coat! It took me back. Back to 80s London pop. Before Rick Astley was properly appreciated. Before he became an internet meme. I haven't been Rick-rolled in so long I almost miss it. Sam Smith was like the baby Rick and Boy George always wanted to have together. Full Story
All of Taylor's emotions
Kevin Winter/ Jeff Kravitz/ Kevin Mazur/ AMA2014/ Getty Images
At this point I think she should just change the name of the song to Lonely Starbucks Lovers. Yes, I can read the lyrics. But all I HEAR is "Lonely Starbucks Lovers". And reading your emails and tweets, it seems you are the same. I love that they had to give her a Lifetime Achievement Award just to get her there. Full Story

July 27 (Bloomberg) -- Dutch police reopened a train station in the city of Tilburg, after an investigation revealed an unattended suitcase left on one of the platforms didn't contain explosives, Willem van Hooijdonk, a spokesman for the police, said by telephone.
The Tilburg station was partly evacuated during the investigation, he said.

School Districts Connect Students And Educators To Digital Learning Environments With Innovative Dell Infrastructure Solutions
Building on its portfolio of K-12 education solutions, Dell today announced the Dell PowerEdge VRTX to the education vertical. As K-12 school systems across the country personalize learning by leveraging digital content, tools and online learning, the need for a reliable and easy to manage IT infrastructure is increasingly important. PowerEdge VRTX is a converged IT solution that helps schools build a strong, reliable IT foundation to connect to online resources, facilitate collaborative learning and support online assessment required by the Common Core State Standards.
Combined with Dell's end-to-end technology expertise, the Dell PowerEdge VRTX integrates servers, storage, networking and management into a compact design that fits underneath a desk. Along with a locking front bezel for security and office-quiet acoustics, VRTX provides simple, efficient and versatile systems management with a footprint that is much smaller than traditional multi-server configurations. This gives school districts the ability to support digital learning with the power and function of a complete data center in one compact chassis.
School districts across the country have already made VRTX a new component of their district infrastructure and the service they provide to each school as part of an important component to help provide cutting edge resources to support learning. The Mohawk Regional Information Center of Madison-Oneida Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in New York, Washington Saratoga Warren Hamilton Essex Board of Cooperative Educational Services in New York and Horry County Schools in South Carolina each rely on Dell PowerEdge VRTX to help personalize their learning environment.
The Mohawk Regional Information Center of Madison-Oneida BOCES was looking to decrease its IT footprint while delivering more flexible and high-quality educational programs to their 50+ growing school districts.
- "The Dell PowerEdge VRTX is an excellent fit for one of our major goals: getting a virtualized platform up and running in school districts that are growing and running out of room for physical servers. With one VRTX enclosure, a district can host dozens of virtual machines in a very small footprint," said Joe DiFabio, telecommunications specialist, Mohawk Regional Information Center of Madison-Oneida Board of Cooperative Educational Services. "Dell PowerEdge VRTX gives our school districts the ability to fail over between compute nodes in the same enclosure, which can really make a difference by ensuring uptime for key applications, including email, file services, student management systems, transportation systems, and cafeteria systems."
- "The Dell PowerEdge VRTX is a great solution for our school districts and helps reduce server sprawl and simplifies maintenance and management," said Ken Morrill, network analyst, Washington Saratoga Board of Cooperative Educational Services. "One of the biggest attractions of the Dell PowerEdge VRTX for us is the low cooling and power requirement, because our districts generally do not have purpose-built data centers with robust air conditioning and power supplies. With VRTX, we can consolidate three or four servers down to just one efficient unit."

Complete Jewish Bible (CJB) | New International Version (NIV) |
12 She answered, "As ADONAI your God lives, I have nothing baked, only a handful of meal in a pot and a little oil in the jug. Here I am, gathering a couple sticks of wood, so that I can go and cook it for myself and my son. After we have eaten that, we will die." | 12 "As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread--only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it--and die." |

geographical name \ˌgwä-tə-ˈmä-lə, -tā-ˈmä-lä\Definition of GUATEMALA
country Central America S of Mexico bordering on the Pacific & the Caribbean; a republic area 42,042 square miles (109,309 square kilometers), pop 11,237,196
or Guatemala City city, its ∗ pop 942,348
— Gua·te·ma·lan \-ˈmä-lən\ adjective or noun
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)/div>
/div>Country, Central America. Area: 42,130 sq mi (109,117 sq km). Population: (2009 est.) 14,027,000. Capital: Guatemala City. Mestizos make up more than three-fifths of the population; most of the rest are Indian, predominantly Maya. Language: Spanish (official). Religion: Christianity (predominantly Roman Catholic; also Protestant). Currency: quetzal, dollar. Guatemala has extensive lowlands in the Petén portion of the Yucatán Peninsula and along the littoral of the Caribbean Sea in the north. Mountains occupy much of the country and cut across its midsection. The northern tropical rainforests of the Petén produce fine woods and rubber. Guatemala has a developing market economy based largely on agriculture; coffee is one of its leading exports, along with sugar and bananas. It is a republic with one legislative body; its head of state and government is the president. From simple farming villages dating from 2500 BCE, the Maya of Guatemala and the Yucatán developed a sophisticated civilization. Its heart was the northern Petén, where the oldest Mayan stelae and the ceremonial centre of Tikal are found. Mayan civilization declined after 900 CE, and the Spanish began subjugating the descendants of the Maya in 1523. Independence from Spain was declared by the Central American colonies in Guatemala City in 1821, and Guatemala was incorporated into the Mexican Empire until its collapse in 1823. In 1839 Guatemala became independent under the first of a series of dictators who held power almost continuously for the next century. In 1945 a liberal-democratic coalition came to power and instituted sweeping reforms. Attempts to expropriate land belonging to U.S. business interests (see United Fruit Co.) prompted the U.S. government in 1954 to sponsor an invasion by exiled Guatemalans. In the following years Guatemala's social revolution came to an end, and most of the reforms were reversed. Chronic political instability and violence henceforth marked Guatemalan politics; most of some 200,000 deaths that resulted from subsequent political violence were blamed on government forces. Thousands more died in 1976 when a powerful earthquake devastated the country. In 1991 Guatemala abandoned its long-standing claims of sovereignty over Belize, and the two countries established diplomatic relations. It continued to experience violence as guerrillas sought to seize power. A peace treaty was signed in 1996, but labour discontent, widespread crime and poverty, and violations of human rights continued into the 21st century.

A Recipe for Every Body
Paleo No-Peanut-Butter Cookies
I can't live without peanut-butter cookies. But there are lots of reasons to avoid peanuts on a healthy diet. For one, peanuts aren't Paleo. That's because they're not a tree-nut, but rather a legume, a bean that grows underground, and wasn't a major part of the human diet until well after the advent
Paleo Sweet Potato Mini-Muffins
Today I had an irresistible craving for healthy muffins, not too sweet, with the rich flavor of sweet potatoes. I adore these for breakfast, snack, or dessert. Mini-muffins seem so small and innocent, I can pop half a dozen in my mouth before I catch myself. Anyway, it's not a problem as these are pretty much guilt-free, loaded with vitamins, potassium, and beta carotene. Even better, they're grain-free and extremely low in the carbs that cause weight gain, especially if you use the zero-carb chicory root sweetener suggested. Oh, and if you're out of sweet potatoes, they're also very tasty with yams,
Sprouted Kitchari
Kitchari is my favorite soup for cleansing – especially after the holidays. There's something so satisfying and nourishing about it when I'm tired. A staple in Ayurvedic cooking, kitchari as been used for thousands of years to cleanse and heal digestion. It is a combination of rice or quinoa with split yellow or red dahl lentils and spices, that does not create gas. Delicious for breakfast, lunch or dinner, Kitchari adds nutrition-supporting spices and vegetables to stabilize blood sugar. It helps to burn fat and release toxins. Sprouting the quinoa and lentils removes the seed coatings, and adds another level of cleansing and vital
Oven Fried Chicken with Garlic & Herbs
This simple combination is absolutely the best fried chicken I've ever tasted. A comfort-food favorite, it is super-easy to bake with breading and seasonings. Even better, it is gluten-free, grain-free, Paleo, with no processed ingredients. I serve it with a vegetable such as steamed broccoli,
Warm Mexican Sweet Potato Salad
A fabulous way to serve sweet potatoes any time of year, this traditional dish explodes with Latino flavors of roasted sweet potato, peppers, and spices. Like a warm Niçoise salad with authentic Mexican character, I made it for an office party, and it was a huge favorite. Called Ensalada Calientita de Camote y Tocino, this Paleo version is perfect
Paleo Pumpkin Coconut Macaroons
These super-easy cookies taste crunchy on the outside, and like pumpkin pie on the inside. Kids love to make them as they're quick to enjoy. A Paleo-adaptation of those decadent old-fashioned macaroon with evaporated milk and tons of sugar, these are free of flour, gluten, grains, sugar and dairy.
Gong Fu Chicken!
Someone recently asked what is my favorite sauce. Well, this is it! I call it Gong Fu Chicken. In English that means Achievement of Man, which describes this sauce perfectly. You'll never find anything this yummy in Chinatown. The closest thing is sweet & sour chicken.
Best Turkey Gravy Ever – Paleo-style
This is the creamiest gravy I've ever tasted. And the quickest. The secret to rich gravy is turkey drippings, coconut milk, and arrowroot to thicken instantly. Turkey gravy doesn't have to be hard. We don't have to wait while mom stirs over a hot stove for an hour and everyone's ready to dig in. There's no need for a roux,
Sprouted Cuban Black Bean Soup
I remember a traditional black bean soup in my favorite Cuban cafe on West 72nd street. The deep, dark flavor was indescribably delicious, but oh boy it gave me gas. Well, this recipe resolves that! Sprouted beans are easy to make and digestible. When I learned this simple home technique, my digestive issues disappeared. Hooray! Even better, sprouting boosts protein content and reduces carbs. All types of sprouted beans are a potent source of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, especially important in fall and winter. Sprouting is so easy! See the 2-Step instructions below. A few words of advice on beans.
Paleo Turkey Tagine Stuffing
I'm in the mood for a new stuffing this holiday. Something with rich exotic spices! And crunchy textures. This Paleo stuffing is based on a Moroccan stew, slow-cooked in a Tagine clay-pot. That's similar to baking inside a bird, right? This turkey stuffing is nothing like my mom's. It is gluten-free and grain-free,
Gluten-Free Green Herb Bread
Nutritious and deep green, I created this bread as an appetizer for an herbalist friend's birthday. While the color is surprising, the flavor is wonderful, it slices perfectly, and tastes absolutely divine with grass-fed butter or Vegan Cream Cheese. Chia seeds replace gluten to give the bread a perfect traditional texture like wheat.
Black Bottom Squash Pie
Here's a fabulicious twist on Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie – make it with squash and add a crunchy chocolate crust! Chocolate and butternut squash taste luscious together. Butternut squash is much easier to prepare than fresh pumpkin – just peel, cube, and steam, for an easy pie from scratch instead of canned.
Holiday Spiced Beet Elixir
This delicious non-alcoholic punch is made from spiced ginger tea, pomegranate, and yes – fermented beets! The flavor is exalting, the feeling uplifting and enlivening. Warm spiced punch with cinnamon and cloves is a comfort food for me. This elixir combines delicious flavor and invigorating medicinal qualities.
Wild Salmon Zoodles
Tonight I was craving a favorite dish I use to love in a certain trattoria near the Pescheria in Venice, Italy – Spaghetti al Salmone con Panna. The sublime combination of salmon, cream and fresh pasta makes a smooth, rich, sensational flavor experience. This Paleo-adapted version
Yogurt Herb Superfood Dressing
Today's recipe is a new discovery that combines amazing flavor with medicinal healing. Fresh lemons and limes are loaded with flavonoids which have antioxidant and anti-cancer properties. Pumpkin seeds contain free-radical scavenging phytosterols that boost liver function and – yes – make you feel sexy!
Pear Ginger Smoothie
When I have only 2 minutes for a healthy breakfast, I go for a smoothie. This is a favorite because pear and ginger taste fabulicious together! It takes just 5 ingredients – plus any optional super foods you'd like to add. I drink it in the car, and it keeps me going with stable energy for several hours.
Hazelnut Hot Chocolate
Whip up a hazelnut hot chocolate and it will change your whole day. My love affair with hazelnuts has gone to new heights of expression. Everyone knows that hazelnuts and chocolate are a special combination, rich and satisfying. Even better, hazelnut milk is a super-easy, high-nutrition snack.
I Can't Believe it's Vegan Gravy
Amazingly tasty and rich, caramelized onions with mushrooms and herbs makes the best gravy I've ever tasted. I was recently invited to a gathering, and asked to bring a vegan gravy. This original recipe is the result. Easy to make, it is both vegan and Paleo, without any broth or refined
Paleo Pumpkin Honey Butter
This creamy mélange is one of the best recipes ever to come out of my kitchen. There are so many uses for this luscious spread – starting with Thanksgiving dinner! It tastes tempting on biscuits, hot rolls, apple muffins, even pancakes. Try it on meat dishes like chicken, or pork. Pretty soon, you'll be
Sausage Stuffed Delicata Squash
Homemade sausage is easy, and far tastier than store-bought. It's quick to mix ground meat with herbs and spices. Spoon it into a squash and bake, for one of the easiest meals in town. And yummiest! I used organic ground turkey. However grass-fed, grass-finished beef, bison, non-gmo chicken, or pork are also delicious.
Amazing Hazelnut Brownies
OK, this is trouble…a serious love affair with um – hazelnuts. Their deep, dark, rich flavor blends tantalizingly with chocolate. Pure hazelnut butter, toasted hazelnuts, and hazelnut meal put these Paleo brownies right over the top as the fudgiest and chewiest I've ever tasted. They're free of gluten, grains, dairy,
Tuscan Chicken Livers with Prosciutto
Even folks who hate liver love this easy recipe. Tuscany has long been an epicenter of traditional cooking lore, with its refinement and emphasis on rich flavor using simple, healthy ingredients. The addition of Prosciutto, lemon, anchovy, and herbs to chicken livers give this easy dish a satisfying
Authentic Borscht, Paleo-Style
With its deep red color and satisfying Old World flavor, my Jewish friends said they'd never tasted a better Borscht. Well, I guess my Russian heritage is coming out today! It's not just traditional root veggies like beets and carrots. The surprise addition of sweet potato and rutabaga give this soup a novel flavor twist. Feel free to make your own changes,
Kale with Sesame Tahini Sauce
I used to think kale was terribly boring, however this sesame tahini sauce perks it right up into a tasty vegetable everyone loves. Kale is loaded with nutrients such as vitamins A, B, C, and especially K – a vitamin many people need. Just 1 serving of kale contains almost 4 grams of protein.
Coconut Peach Ice Cream with Ginger Pecans
Homemade dairy-free coconut ice cream is an indulgence any time of year. Then the other day my friend Kirtan brought me a basket of peaches from her tree, heavy with fruit. I couldn't bring myself to cook these gorgeous peaches. Creamy peach ice cream was the result, delicate and divine, with bits of fruit and
Chocolate Avocado Zucchini Muffins
It's zucchini season and gardens are overflowing. What to do? Aha! Zucchini muffins, but with a twist! I wanted to know if avocado and chocolate together would make an incredibly moist and rich muffin. Well, the answer is emphatically yes! These babies have a lusciously smooth texture using low-carb, grain-free coconut butter
10 Fabulous Birthdays, Paleo & Gluten-free!
A few weeks ago I was invited to a birthday party for a good friend. The party was in a local restaurant, with a special-order cake from their bakery. All my friends were going, and I really wanted to be there to celebrate. My friends know my books and recipes, and they understand I don't eat grains, sugar, dairy, or GMO foods.
Luscious Lemon Cupcakes
Fluffy Lemon Cupcakes are delicate and light, filled with tangy citrus flavor, a perfect treat for yourself or someone special. Yes, those are my teeth marks again! Although you'd never guess from tasting them, they're gluten-free, grain-free, Paleo, hypo-allergenic, and diabetic friendly. Plus they're even yummier with
Dark Chocolate Avocado Fudge – Oh my!
The easiest fudge I ever made. And oh my! The most delicious by far. With a velvety smooth texture and crunchy nuts, it's quick to make as there's no heating or baking – just mix and chill. Avocado has a mild flavor, so I added cinnamon and allspice. The spices blend beautifully with chocolate, however they're optional.
Crustless Vegan Quiche
I confess, it took me 8 tries to make a vegan quiche worthy of sharing with you. This Paleo-vegan recipe has a wonderful flavor and just the right consistency. The texture is similar to traditional quiche – except it's egg-free! Instead of eggs, blended cashews, coconut, and grain-free flour bind it together.

I gave a presentation to the Organic BMSB workgroup on how our growing year faired and what we did to rectify last year's infestation. We improved marginally, however I look at improvement as a great step, no matter the measurement. Improvement equates to moving forward in our fight to grow fruits and vegetables organically against a devastating adversary.
I was finally able to put faces to the voices I have heard on all the conference calls. As usual, I learned more from everyone else then I was able to impart but that is why I wanted to be in the group to begin with. I could not stand by having suffered the losses from 2010 without trying to do something, education, as with most things, is the first step. At least this year I had much less anxiety presenting to such a distinguished group. I am still in awe of the work they do and the dedication they show. I am a babe in the woods filled with entomology experts, seasoned practitioners and other heavy hitters in the organic growing community. I met Jeff Moyer from the Rodale Institute and Dr. Russ Mizell from Florida State University. We followed Dr. Mizell's 2008 native stinkbug study to establish a trap crop solution for this year. During the two-day event, I found I was still writing jargon down, for later research, but the longer I listened the more things started to fall into place.
Entomologist from around the country showed up to participate. It was truly fascinating to sit and listen to the work that they have been doing this past year and years past. They have been studying this bug for sometime. It was not until the last few years that BMSB started to show their true capacity for fruit and vegetable damage. If left unchecked many small organic farms will suffer and more than likely go out of business. The Washington Post recently had an article about a peach grower, in the area, that decided to stop instead of continuing to suffer monetary loses due to the bug.
Orchards around Maryland and Pennsylvania are suffering great losses. The bug continues to hitchhike across the United States with no indication of abatement. Once in a place they multiply consuming the most desirable and costly flora. They are not only destructive they are dumb. They fly but they do not know how to land. They land by hitting something first. Then they either grasp on to the surface in order to stay put or bounce off to fall to the ground. Most times, they bounce off. If it is a hard surface, you hear them hit the surface and another thump when they hit hard ground.
Besides trap cropping we will try native parasitoids this year. Parasitoids lay eggs on their host and the larvae feed off the host in order to mature. As the larvae grow, the host dies. Like the Trichogramma wasp laying eggs on the green tomato hornworm. We will try different species and wasps that are predacious.
We are fortunate that we can participate in the group and learn as we go. I do feel better about growing but we are not out of trouble. This season's grow area has hedgerows and tree lines surrounding the land. Both places are over-winter habitation areas for the BMSB. We will also plant near the barn, another highly concentrated area for over-wintering bugs. We have our planning cut out for us, we will need to come up with a perimeter defense that takes into account both ground and air assault. Adult BMSB are high in the trees and glide down to earth. Planting a trap crop too close to the trees will not stop them from making it into the cash crop area.
We will put up trap crops, physical barriers and try repellant plants on the interior. The idea of the repellant plant is if the bug gets through the trap crop the next thing they get to is an undesirable plant, which may turn them back around to the trap crop for food. We will have to see; what I do know is the more we learn the better able to educate others. If we are able to further that cause then it fits within our own mission. Without education, we are all lost.

I've just posted a job for my team at the Wikimedia Foundation, which comes with the traditional avalanche of resumes and cover letters. I'm not complaining – I love that there's so much interest in the job (and come on, who wouldn't want to work at WMF? Seriously. Talk about impact.) But I'm struck by one thing in particular: I specifically asked for a cover letter. SPECIFICALLY. And about 2/3 of the candidates aren't sending me one. Come on, folks, I asked for a cover letter, and I did it for a reason: a large part of your day will be spent in text. I want to see if you can write.
As I whine about this to a friend, conversation ensues:
"Philippe", says he, "well, what are you looking for in a cover letter? And please, stop drinking my vodka."
"Good question", says I. "Now pass me the gin."
So without further ado,
What I'm looking for in a resume and cover letter:
Let's start with a basic assumption: you're qualified for the job, with appropriate experience
Grammar: Can you find a complete sentence without the aid of a map and a flashlight? Now is the time to demonstrate that. Get someone to proofread it. I'm not kidding. And don't let it be that kid from your dorm that skipped English comp, he can't write for crap.
A touch of flair: I'm looking at a resume today that is broken into sections with horizontal lines, and they're red. It's classy, and it's eye catching. I'm not going to hire based on that, but she sure caught my attention.
Custom is the best: If your cover letter is clearly generic…… don't waste my time. It's the difference between "I'm looking for a position at your company because I believe in what you do" and "I'm interested in the role of Community Advocate at the Wikimedia Foundation, because your particular role of supporting Wikipedia's users and editors in governance functions is a compelling one, because of my long-time interest in emerging governance models."
Watch for the gotchas: Now, you just KNOW that the sentence you write to brag about your attention to detail is going to have a mistake. You know that, I know that, it's a given.
Do your research: If you haven't read everything you can find about me, my team, and our work (check meta. Check my talk pages on English and Meta. Check my volunteer account – it's linked from my work account. Check my boss's talk pages. Check HIS boss's talk pages) then you aren't the right person for this job. I'm not looking for someone who's going to cut corners, and if you think you can bullshit past me in an interview… you're wrong. Trust me. And on that note, feel free to mention in your cover letter that you read this piece. That's gonna catch my attention. (See what I did there? You got a little reward for doing your research.)
Have a well-defined worldview: I don't care if you're new to online communities, show me that you've spent some time really thinking about them. Show me that you've considered our Big Problems (the "oh shit, slide", perhaps? See, there's another little hint…) and have some ideas. We may have already thought of them, but you'll be showing me how you think.
Be graceful as a … something: Now, if you do all these things, and for some stupid reason we pass on you (maybe I am just a moron? That must be it) for heaven's sake, don't go out in a blaze of glory. One person did that once, and told me exactly what she thought of me and the company. Guess what? I had another role in mind for her, and I knew it was going to open shortly. Guess who didn't get an interview for that one? Sometimes you're not the right fit for right now, but you are the right fit for later, or for a slightly different job. Trust me. If you're a fit, and I recognize it, I'll make sure the hiring manager is aware.
Show your hidden talent: This is not the time to be demure. If you have a passion and a flair for writing complex SQL queries, I want to know about it. James could use the help. If you love to recreate the work of 18th century painting elephants, this is a good time to let me know. You'd be amazed how often we need some weird skill set. And if, for goodness sake, you speak another language, tell me about it! It should go without saying, but if you've edited Wikipedia or any of our projects, I'd like to know about it. Heck, I'd like to know about ANY collaborative writing you've done.
Don't be intimidated by a degree requirement: Here's the great secret: I don't give a flip about your degree. I care about two things: 1) have you had the big idea and seen it through to completion and 2) are you easily intimidated, or do you barrel through obstacles? Now do you see why I list a degree requirement? Don't think for one minute that the degree you've got gets you out of demonstrating your answers to these two questions though.
So there you have it. What I look for in a cover letter and resume. And a couple of sweet ways to get yours to the top of my stack.

I love the kitchen photos you have shared (partly because I have a small kitchen, too and love seeing what can be done with one). Your kitchen is drop-dead gorgeous! Can you tell me/us more about your remodel and the choices you made, like the cabinets (maker, door style) and maybe even provide your floorplan? I read in one of your posts that you use BM Cloud White for your cabs -- did you use the same for your walls? It's all so seamless and classy. Looking forward to reading more about your choices! |

So my new VT logo tattoo prompted some more tattoo talk with the kids. I told the kids about my impending Doctor Who tattoo and MP chimed in that she wants me to get a My Little Pony tattoo as well.
I told her that I do want to get one to celebrate not only my love of that cartoon but my love of watching it with her, just like the DW one is for my love of the show, my mom introducing me to it and me introducing LP to it (we are DW buddies).
But it came up very quickly that I want a cutie mark on my butt just like the ponies do. But what would I get? My 3 options were:
1) Rainbow Dash (my favorite pony)
2) Doctor Whooves (a brilliant crossover character but then I'd have 2 DW tats and would be encroaching on this one that is for MP and me to share)
3) a custom cutie mark that is representative of me.
But what would be MY cutie mark?
Without missing a beat LP sits up in his chair and crosses his ams in an X "a spatula and a paintbrush".
I've been thinking about this particular tattoo, a tattoo that is ABOUT ME and MY LIKES for 4-5 months. He nailed it in under a second. I am always surprised about the things he says. And fully realize that just because he isn't focused, doesn't mean he isn't listening to everything around him or making connections to the people closest to him.

Hi all,
I've been reading and enjoying the posts lately, very interesting (and helpful) what people are talking about and the photos are great. I was very preoccupied with my daughter's high school graduation (my youngest!) and my potager has been a little bit neglected...but I'm back now and need to get recharged, so I am working on adding another side to my garden. The thing is, the west side is our white picket fence, and the north end is a panel of three vertical trellises, connected, on which the pole beans are growing. I'm hoping to post a picture this week. Is such a panel configuration enough of a "side" to my potager? I would like to put a similar panel at the south end of the garden, behind an existing day lily bed. Then a sidewalk which runs across in front of the lily bed would be inside the potager and I could have some fun with that. Do these panels sound like they can serve as "sides" to the garden? I hope so. The east side will have to wait for the budget to allow and I'm thinking about hedges etc. for that in the fall or next spring. Thanks for your thinking about this - Donna |

I don't see why this wouldn't work. I have toyed with a similar idea myself, since I don't have room for a fence on one long side of my potager. I saw some nice wrought iron trellises at Lowe's that are about 4'wide x 6'high that I think would give the impression of a fence without actually being one. I don't think I would even try to make a solid wall, but rather space two or three panels down the side leaving spaces between them, maybe for walkways. Anything that stops the eye is going to give the impression of a wall. Just keep in mind that you don't want too much shade on your beds. |
Sounds neat to me! Doing it on both sides would add symmetry and structure. Who says you need a fence? Although if I didn't have a fence, I'd have no garden. |
- Posted by chickadeemelrose 5 (My Page) on Wed, Jun 23, 10 at 14:50
Thank you SO MUCH for your enthusiasm and feedback! I feel more confident about this idea now. What it would end up looking like is this - in the way back of the scene on the south side is our house foundation (ugly grey), with a large bed of orange daylilies in front of it, about 10 feet long. The bed has large rocks in front along it, and a paver walkway in front of that, and the rest of the potager is on the other side of the walkway. I love the lily bed and the sidewalk and would like to incorporate them into the potager, but nothing behind that. The three framed lattice panels are 6' tall and 3' wide (square lattice, not diagonal). I would place these three panels about a foot apart, lined up behind the day lilies and opposite the three same type of panels at the north end of the potager (where the beans are growing). The new trio of panels would be a background for the lilies and camouflage the foundation, and hopefully also serve as the south end of the potager. With the three panels we put up for the beans my husband and I braced the three with a 2' x 4' behind them, screwed in. Then hubby attached the brace to the nearby picket fence, out of view. I hope to do the same at the other end of the garden. I'm sharing these details in case somehow this solution might help someone else with a similar problem to solve (several different features to incorporate into side of a potager). I still welcome thoughts on this! :) And thank you! |

Well this morning (between water breaks, it's really hot in MA today!)I'm putting up the three-part lattice panel at the south end of my potager; ali-b and donnabaskets, your encouragement really helped me decide on this. Even as I am putting up the panels new ideas are occurring to me on how to make this even prettier. It always feels empowering to use tools and build something new. I decided to go ahead and put up this panel myself while my husband is at work. I will send pictures soon! Thanks again - Donna |

You have snakes in Massachusetts? I didn't know that...but it would make building anything a little more difficult! Your enclosure sounds wonderful and I'm sure your potager is going to look even prettier. Can't wait to see pics :) |
- Posted by chickadeemelrose 5 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 25, 10 at 13:02
Thanks! I will post pics as soon as I can. I did get the trellises up today, the toughest thing was getting them in the ground to be the same height and bracing them so they were even. Yes, we have snakes in Massachusetts, but the only dangerous ones are rattlesnakes in the mountains here. Donna |

The ES 330 offers as standard most of the safety features one would expect in an entry-level luxury car, including eight airbags, traction control, anti-lock disc brakes, and front and rear crumple zones. Electronic vehicle stability control and brake assist (helps ensure the ABS engages during panic stops) are the only safety options, and they're highly desirable.
Unlike many class rivals, the ES 330 offers only one engine; fortunately it's up to the task. The 3.3-liter/225-horse DOHC V-6 is coupled solely to a five-speed automatic, and it provides reasonable power while sipping relatively little fuel. Its 21/29 city/highway mpg EPA rating is among the best in class. Cadillac offers two V-6s in the CTS sedan, and while one boasts 30 more horsepower than the ES 330, neither Cadillac engine is as fuel efficient. The power output does trail several lower-priced midsize sedans, such as the Honda Accord, and within Toyota, it bows to the much more robust Avalon.
Lexus looked at the balance of ride and handling offered by German competitors and decided to tilt the needle far toward the comfort end of the spectrum. Lexus is uniquely situated to offer such a narrowly focused luxury car because it also offers the sporty IS line in the same price range. While the ES is agile enough to be safe and predictable, it doesn't inspire enthusiasm when pushed. The steering is overly isolated and handling leaves the driver too removed from the road. The standard suspension is smooth and pillowy, so the optional Adaptive Variable Suspension, with four settings from Comfort to Sport, is an unnecessary indulgence for most. This effective technology can provide control over the dynamic personality, but it can't transform the ES sport sedan. Braking is satisfactory, though a bit of nose-dive is apparent during hard stops. Road visibility is comparable to that of other cars in its class.
The five-speed transmission handles the ES 330's overriding mission of maintaining the serenity of its occupants with silken shifts during normal usage, although a firm stab at the loud pedal can elicit a sharp kickdown; it's almost as though Lexus engineered this intentionally to remind you that the ES prefers to be driven gently and slowly. The engine, silent other than near full throttle, provides solid but hardly awe-inspiring power.

United Center
Attendance: 21,232
Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Derrick Rose tied the game at the end of regulation with a three-pointer and made the go-ahead layup late in overtime, as the Chicago Bulls outlasted the Houston Rockets, 119-116, at United Center.
Rose finished with 30 points, 11 assists, seven rebounds and five steals for the Bulls, who have won five straight against Houston. Carlos Boozer tallied 25 points and nine boards.
Luol Deng donated 15 points for Chicago, which snapped a brief two-game skid. Joakim Noah chipped in with 13 points and 12 rebounds, while Kyle Korver added 13 points for the victors.
"Derrick Rose was terrific," Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said. "In the first half, he set the tone with his defense. He really competed hard. I liked our defense in the first half. In the second half, our fouling and not enough ball pressure hurt us. In the end we did what we had to do. Our pick and roll defense is something we have to work on and clean up."
Luis Scola ended with 27 points and eight rebounds to pace the Rockets, who saw a two-game winning streak come to an end. Brad Miller had 20 points in a reserve role, while Kyle Lowry tallied 16 points and seven boards in defeat.
A tight fourth quarter came down to foul shots. Boozer got the Bulls within one, 103-102, on a jumper with 2:22 left in regulation.
Miller missed a jumper at the other end but Rose was called for a loose ball foul. Lowry made both shots from the foul line to give Houston a 105-102 lead with 1:57 to go.
With the score the same one minute later, Rose missed a layup. Lowry was able to make his layup at the opposite end to make it a 107-102 contest with 36.5 seconds remaining.
Boozer cut the gap to three with a tip-in. Lowry then made just 1-of-2 from the charity stripe. Boozer came up with a layup next time down the court to make it 108-106 with 14.7 ticks left on the clock.
Miller was fouled and sent to the line with 10.7 seconds to go, but could only convert on one of his shots. Chicago gave the ball to Rose, who rose up and drilled the game-tying three-pointer as time expired.
"It was hard to communicate that to them (to foul Rose)," Rockets head coach Rick Adelman said. "We didn't foul him with seven to 10 seconds to go and it allowed him to pass it and then get the ball back. Give him credit, he made a really tough shot. However, letting them get two offense rebounds and missing a couple of free throws were also a part of it."
With the score 116-116 in overtime, Rose made a driving layup to give the Bulls a two-point edge with 1:17 left.
Following misses from each team, the Rockets got the ball back with 24.9 seconds to go. Miller, who missed a trey on the previous possession, missed from long range again. Scola grabbed the offensive rebound but missed a tip- in.
Ronnie Brewer made 1-of-2 from the line to give Chicago a 119-116 margin with 4.5 seconds to go. Taj Gibson blocked Miller's three-pointer as time expired.
The Bulls held a 25-23 lead after 12 minutes of action, and outscored Houston by a 31-21 margin in the second quarter to take a 56-44 margin into the locker room.
The Rockets used a big third stanza to get back into the game. Trailing by 12, 68-56, with 7:49 left, Houston went on a 15-7 run. Scola capped the drive with a layup to cut the deficit to 75-71 with 3:52 remaining.
Shane Battier and Lowry each made three-pointers at the end of period to make it an 81-79 game heading to the fourth.

Here's an example of a traditional sink that has been adapted to fit a more bowl-shaped style. The sink itself sits above the cabinet space leaving ample room for storage in the bathroom. The bowl is small which leaves a lot of counter space for you to use. Plus I kind of like the clear style that lets you actually see through the whole sink. It seems like it would create some neat design effects!
I like the photo above but this one is more the style I was talking about when choosing bowl-shaped sinks. Doesn't it look like earthenware from another country? And it still leaves lots of cabinet space below it since it sits on top of the cabinet instead of within it.
I really like how this bathroom hints at nature. The bowl has that clayware feel to it. The wall looks like rocks. The colors are drawn from the earth. I think that the storage features beneath the sink could've been more earthy (wicker instead of metal, perhaps) but I do like the function of that space.
Not everyone is interested in the style of the clay-like bowl. Another option is the glass bowl-shaped sink. I love the beautiful blue here! I think it would look a lot better on a tiled cabinet than a wooden one, though, don't you?
This is another example of a glass bowl which highlights a couple of great features of this type of sink. First of all, you can use a really cool backsplash to create a distinct decorative piece for the bathroom. And second, a bowl-shaped sink leaves room on the counter even when the counter space is limited.
A metal bowl is another option which can give you some really cool ideas for decorating in the bathroom. In this case, the whole sink area is an interesting cabinet with built-in storage. However, I think that you could do something even better with an eco-friendly slant using repurposed metal for the bowl-shaped sink.
Here's another style of bowl-shaped sink. This one is flatter and shallower. With this design, you really draw attention to the beauty of the cabinet since the sink isn't overwhelming the space.
This example shows how a bowl-shaped sink can really serve as almost a piece of sculptural art in the bathroom. When complimented with cool vases and other sculptures, you create a space that is truly artistic.
This is kind of a cool design that takes its cues from the bowl-shaped sink. This one seems to be more about style than function since there isn't cabinet space underneath it but it does leave room to add shelving nearby if needed.
This is a great example of how a small sink can be separate from the storage unit of the bathroom and yet be integral in its design. This great bowl-shaped blue sink stands on its own. Since it takes up so little space, there is plenty of room for that tall storage shelf in the corner.
This is another good example of a tiny sink. This one seems like it would be ideal in an apartment bathroom that doesn't have a lot of space for you to work with. In fact, I'd like to have something like this in my own apartment!

Justin Bieber fans were in for a special treat Wednesday. The 19-year-old heartthrob took to Instagram to share yet another shirtless snapshot.
Wearing only pants and a baseball cap, Bieber, flexed his biceps as he showed off his chiseled chest and washboard abs. In the pic, Bieber points to his personal trainer, Patrick Nilsson, who stands grinning by his side. Judging by the Biebs stellar transformation, it's clear that two have been very busy lately. During an interview with Newsday, Nilsson, 29, revealed the details of his intense training regimen.
"His chest and shoulders — we need to build those up," Nilsson explained. "It's all about looks."
Justin Bieber Off the Hook in Spitting and Speeding Cases
The duo trains together for approximately 40 minutes each day, five days a week and if good "looks" were the objective, their hard work has paid off. Fans can say goodbye to the skinny, floppy-haired kid of yesteryear and hello to a new, improved Justin Bieber.
"I want him to look like Marky Mark," Nilsson joked "I feel like this is what he needs to get where he wants to be. He's definitely leaner and a lot stronger."
The "Heartbreak" vocalist echoed his trainer's sentiment adding, "Who doesn't like working out chest and biceps?"
As for Bieber's diet, Nilson revealed that the crooner can eat pretty much anything he wants.

"It's more about making sure he eats," Nilsson told Newsday. "He's the only client I allow to have McDonald's whenever he wants. But he also likes chicken breast, whitefish, salmon, turkey, steak, rice, mashed and regular potatoes and weird greens like cauliflower."
Earlier this week, Bieber released his newest single "Heartbreaker," the first installment in the singer's "Music Mondays" series in which he will release a new song each week, for 10 straight weeks. He is currently traveling and performing on tour in Asia.

Let's just say "easy to follow" isn't exactly a common descriptor. Tomino's break-neck pacing and sporadic exposition haven't made the picture clear for a lot of folks. If you've seen Turn A, it's a lot like that, just turned up to 11.
Batman Eternal #28 Review
Submitted by Penguin Truth on October 22, 2014 - 3:01am
Red Hood spills beers, Jason Bard's almost smears, and there's a whole lot of tears, in this twenty-eighth episode of DC comics' ongoing Batman saga. Jason Bard pays a price for his betrayal, Croc loses a friend, Batman arrives too late, and Catwoman gives in to the family business. I mean, moreso, I suppose. This issue will see big consequences in Catwoman's solo title, and I'm sure probably some influence on Batgirl's new arc.
